ABSTRACT:
The braking force control apparatus for a vehicle which has a function of applying a braking force to the vehicle by rotational resistance of the engine, by stopping the fuel supply to the engine during coasting of the vehicle and by controlling a torque capacity of a torque capacity control device that is provided between the engine and a wheel so that the torque capacity becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined value, and of decreasing the torque capacity of the torque capacity control device when a predetermined condition is satisfied, and has a function of applying the braking force to the vehicle by a function of an electric power generator which is coupled with the wheel such that power can be transmitted. The braking force control apparatus includes braking force control means which increases a braking force that is generated by the function of the electric power generator when the torque capacity of the torque capacity control device is decreased.
